Jaz

“The birds don't mind; imitation is the sincerest flattery.”

A Canopy ape of The High Canopy

The living story

The story so far

Jaz learned his first birdcall at three — a hornbill's laugh — and has not stopped since. Forty-one species now, each with its feather, each feather with its story.

Happening now

He is working on the pitta's call, which requires a note he insists is 'blue.' The pittas are cooperating. They seem flattered.

What may come

If he ever learns the Oldest's call — if the Oldest even has one — the feather for that nest does not exist yet.

Why someone keeps Jaz

  • because his nest is a museum of every bird he ever befriended
  • because he practices being other creatures and loves them harder for it
  • because forty-one feathers and counting, and he remembers where each one came from

The High Canopy

The great apes, where the light lands first: chimpanzees who scheme, bonobos who forgive, gorillas who remember, orangutans who have seen everything twice. What happens up here decides what happens everywhere below.
